Vette stolen
It wasn't mine and I hope I am not breaking any rules by posting this link but someone near where I live had their 75 Vert stolen today.

I think that sucks as I HATE thieves so would hope if anyone happened to by the very slim chance hear about this car, call our local law enforcement.
As I said, I hope I am not out of line posting this but I know if it was my Vette, I would hope other fans of these cars would be helping me out in getting it back.

I would just be sick, nice of you to try and help. One thing to have your house broken in and ransacked!! But to have two of your treasures taken and possibly destroyed!! We all have to work so hard for alittle joy and then this. Would bring back capital punishment for this.

And he tells all the new boys coming into the prison for a stretch, He said he tells them all that there's a chance, slim as it might be, that one of them might get past some of the guards, maybe over the walls even, but once out,. . . there's something they'll never get past, it them gators. Once they drag you down, just like you never existed. What a character. Ya gotta love American's !

stolen vette
Thats just really sad, to lose 2 babies at once. I hope they find the cars and still intact. A freind of mine had a custom chevy impala stolen and 4 years later it was found in another state in a salvage yard stripped, and headed to the crusher. He lost big time on the car but at least he had closure and he says that meant so much to him.

I would be sick if that happened to me - I sure hope the authorities can both find the cars still intact and catch the thiefs too.

I saw a TV interview with the warden of Angola Prison in LA. They have built a levee around the prison to try to keep the flood waters that they have coming. He's a big round man with the name Burl Waul I believe. He was walking with a reporter and when asked about beavers digging into the walls of the Levee he said he shoot anything that threatened those Levee's. But he said he's never shoot a gator. Even said they where his best friends. Yep !
And he tells all the new boys coming into the prison for a stretch, He said he tells them all that there's a chance, slim as it might be, that one of them might get past some of the guards, maybe over the walls even, but once out,. . . there's something they'll never get past, it them gators. Once they drag you down, just like you never existed. What a character. Ya gotta love American's !
